POWER ISA v3 defines a new idle processor core mechanism. In summary,
a) new instruction named stop is added. This instruction replaces
instructions like nap, sleep, rvwinkle.
b) new per thread SPR named PSSCR is added which controls the behavior
of stop instruction.
PSSCR has following key fields
Bits 0:3 - Power-Saving Level Status. This field indicates the
lowest power-saving state the thread entered since stop
instruction was last executed.
Bit 42 - Enable State Loss
0 - No state is lost irrespective of other fields
1 - Allows state loss
Bits 44:47 - Power-Saving Level Limit
This limits the power-saving level that can be entered into.
Bits 60:63 - Requested Level
Used to specify which power-saving level must be entered on
executing stop instruction
Stop idle states and their properties like name, latency, target
residency, psscr value are exposed via device tree.
This patch series adds support for this new mechanism.
Patches 1-6 are cleanups and code movement.
Patch 7 adds platform specific support for stop and psscr handling.
Patch 8 and 9 are minor cleanup in cpuidle driver.
Patch 10 adds cpuidle driver support.
Patch 11 makes offlined cpu use deepest stop state.
Note: Documentation for the device tree bindings is posted here-

Changes in v8
=============
- Fixed a copy-paste mistake in PATCH 10
- Initializing pnv_first_deep_stop_state
- Changing MMU_FTR_SECTION condition to reduce FTR section length
- &snooze_loop -> snooze_loop
Changes in v7
=============
- File renamed to idle_book3s.S instead of idle_power_common.S
- Comment changes
- power_stop0, power_stop renamed to power9_idle and power_idle_stop
- PSSCR template is now a macro instead of storing in paca
- power9_idle in C file instead of assembly
- Fixed TOC related bug
- Handling subcore within FTR section
- Functions in idle.c reordered and broken into multiple functions
- calling __restore_cpu_power8/9 via cur_cpu_spec->cpu_restore
- Added a minor patch with minor cleanups in cpuidle-powernv.c . This
was mainly to make the existing code consistent with the review
comments for new code
- Using stack for variables while probing for idle states instead of
kzalloc/kcalloc
- Restoring RPR once per core in P9
Changes in v6
=============
- Restore new POWER ISA v3 SPRS when waking up from deep idle
Changes in v5
=============
- Use generic cpuidle constant CPUIDLE_NAME_LEN
- Fix return code handling for of_property_read_string_array
- Use DT flags to determine if are using stop instruction, instead of
cpu_has_feature
- Removed uncessary cast with names
- &stop_loop -> stop_loop
- Added POWERNV_THRESHOLD_LATENCY_NS to filter out idle states with high latency
Changes in v4
=============
- Added a patch to use PNV_THREAD_WINKLE macro while requesting for winkle
- Moved power7_powersave_common rename to more appropriate patch
- renaming power7_enter_nap_mode to pnv_enter_arch207_idle_mode
- Added PSSCR layout to Patch 7's commit message
- Improved / Fixed comments
- Fixed whitespace error in paca.h
- Using MAX_POSSIBLE_STOP_STATE macro instead of hardcoding 0xF has
max possible stop state
Changes in v3
=============
- Rebased on powerpc-next
- Dropping patch 1 since we are not adding a new file for P9 idle support
- Improved comments in multiple places
- Moved GET_PACA from power7_restore_hyp_resource to System Reset
- Instead of moving few functions from idle_power7 to idle_power_common,
renaming idle_power7.S to idle_power_common.S
- Moved HSTATE_HWTHREAD_STATE updation to power_powersave_common
- Dropped earlier patch 5 which moved few macros from idle_power_common to
asm/cpuidle.h.
- Added a patch to rename reusable power7_* idle functions to pnv_*
- Added new patch that creates abstraction for saving SPRs before
entering deep idle states
- Instead of introducing new file idle_power_stop.S, P9 idle support
is added to idle_power_common.S using CPU_FTR sections.
- Fixed r4 reg clobbering in power_stop0
Changes in v2
=============
- Rebased on v4.6-rc6
- Using CPU_FTR_ARCH_300 bit instead of CPU_FTR_STOP_INST
